Introduction:

Whistleblower protection laws have become increasingly important in recent years as whistleblowers play a crucial role in exposing corruption, fraud, and other wrongdoing in both the public and private sectors. These laws are designed to protect individuals who report misconduct from retaliation and provide them with legal remedies if they are retaliated against. Despite the existence of such laws, there is still a lack of understanding about their effectiveness and whether they provide adequate protection to whistleblowers.

This thesis aims to examine the effectiveness of whistleblower protection laws in various countries and industries. By analyzing existing literature, conducting interviews with whistleblowers, and studying case law, this research will provide insights into the strengths and weaknesses of current whistleblower protection laws and make recommendations for improvements.
